In a truly touching and brave moment, public figures Kate and Prince William stepped out with their eldest son, Prince George, to attend a Sunday service at Kthy Kirk Church. It was the first time Prince William had attended church in the Scottish Episcopal Church since Kate became ill with cancer. The Princess of Wales had not been seen publicly since Wimbledon, and it was announced prior to this appearance that she was undergoing ongoing treatment for breast cancer. First diagnosed in May, our beloved ‘Kate’ has been incredibly brave for all to see. She has fulfilled almost all her royal duties through the diagnosis and the subsequent treatment of chemotherapy. This latest appearance, despite how many are praying for her continued health, is being seen as a real morale booster for ‘Team Wales’.

In March, Kate made public her fight against an unspecified type of cancer. She bravely took a hiatus from public life and her royal work to attend to her health. But the Duchess of Cambridge has since returned, looking remarkably healthy and vibrant—almost as if she hasn’t just endured a major medical crisis. Her most recent appearance—at the Trooping of the Colour—could have fooled anyone into thinking she was just another royal enjoying a salutary summer day with family.

Following her lead, we now share her story in a more direct way:
